"Stop smiling," I hear someone say, and I look up momentarily from my textbook, "It's freaking me out,"
I roll my eyes, moving my bag away from the bottom of the tree I'm leaning against so that Bailey can sit down. Despite her words, she gives me a smile.
"What are you doing out here?" she asks, tucking her knees up to her chest. "I thought you had English?"
"I do," I say, shrugging, "But I need to revise,"
"Revise what?"
"Religion," I murmur, flicking back and forth between Aquinas, Plato's Cave, and The Fall. RS somehow makes it so that no matter how little the information is, it sounds as complex as possible.
"Right," Bailey says, reaching into her bag and taking out a can. She cracks it open right in front of me, mimicking every single Tumblr meme I've seen lately. Then she holds it out in my direction. "You thirsty?"
"What is it?"
"Fuck knows. Tastes good, though," when I shake my head, she shrugs, taking it back. "Why aren't you in the study hall if you're skipping English?"
I sigh, putting the textbook down. I really should be in study hall- it beats being out here in the cold any day- but I decided earlier not to.
Mainly because Beth Morane still exists, and Beth Morane has pissed me off to an unbelievable extent.
"Beth's breathing," I mutter.
"Ah, yes. Two words I never want to hear in the same sentence ever again," Bailey jokes, and I crack a small smile, "She's not in there now, though,"
"Hm?"
"Yeah. She walked in, saw that you weren't, and walked straight back out."
I roll my eyes, ditching my revision notes altogether as I lean against the tree, "She's an actual leech. Like, a human leech,"
"You can say that again,"
"Did I tell you about what she said to me?"
"Which one?"
"About Dylan and Chase,"
"Dad One and Dad Two?" Bailey asks. I nod. "Love those guys. And yeah, I think you did,"
I sigh.
"Look Soph, just forget it. Fuck her, because what the hell does she know?"
I nod, folding my arms and setting them on my lap. There's a silence that envelopes us, but it's comfortable, so I don't mind it that much.
"Did you see what Luke posted on his Instagram yesterday?" Bailey asks, scrolling through her phone and holding up a picture.
I smile at it; he looks good, really good. And it's funny, because the longer I get to know the man, the less I keep up with what he's doing. I don't think I need to anymore; everything's just a quick text away.

Speaking of which, I check my phone now. And like always, whenever I see a call or even a notification from him, my heart does a flip in my chest; I'll never quite get used to seeing Luke's name on my screen.
Please tell me I'm not the only guy to watch Instagram make up videos because they're satisfying
Okay, maybe not name, but contact user.
While I was at his house, Luke had taken my phone whilst I was in the shower and changed everything- all without me knowing.
I came back half an hour later with a towel wrapped around my head and an entire contact list filled with people I couldn't even name properly, much to his amusement. It was frustrating trying to get whoever I didn't recognise to own up.
Furthermore, I ended up texting Luke thinking that he was my actual father. Our first conversation after the name change happened exactly like this;
Baby
What the fuck
Language.
WHAT THE FUCK
What did Daddy say?
I WOULDN'T FUCKING KNOW YOU'VE BEEN AWAY FOR THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF WYD WHAT THE FUCK
It took an impromptu FaceTime call for Luke to tell me that it was him, and not Peter Hayes. Through endless chuckles and eyes that watered at the thought of me freaking out over my father calling me baby, he was finally successful in correcting me on what I needed to know.
I text him back now, genuinely thinking of changing his name back to avoid any further unwanted confusion.
No, Dylan and Chase watch them religiously
You're fine
Okay, good. Because I've been in the bathtub for the past hour now and they're all I've been looking at
Omg
?
Are you n a k e d right now
No I'm taking a bath with skinny jeans and a flannel on
What do you think sweetheart
I laugh slightly at the message, covering my mouth with my hand and attracting Bailey's attention.
She raises an eyebrow at me, but doesn't question anything.
That's hot
"Hey," Bailey nudges me, "You mind if I call the girls? I think they're on a free period,"
I nod, not really paying her any attention, "Sure. I don't mind."
Kinda hot?
Leave
Fine, I'll take my wet jeans and flannel with me
Want to know what else is wet?
"Hello? Yeah, it's Bails. I'm outside with Sophie. The big tree... no, not the one you stabbed with a pencil... the other one, yeah... okay... bring us food... if you get me a salad I will eat your entire family,"
I raise an eyebrow at Bailey, though she looks deadly serious.
"Yeah, okay, a sandwich it is..." she looks at me. "Want anything?"
"Just a drink, please,"

"Okay," she turns back to her phone, "Sophie wants a drink... yeah, because she's a thirsty ass bitch.... alright, that's all. Bye Ash, love you,"
Don't. I can't get hard again, I have somewhere to go
aGaIn
Seriously babe, don't
by Ed Sheeran
Wow
Okay I'm out
Of the closet?
Of the bath doll
:)))))))))Wyd
I just had a thought
Shouldn't you be in lesson?
Yesss and
Why aren't you in class?
I had an emergency
That is..?
I had to take an emergency nude
What the fuck
"You really love messing with him, don't you?" Bailey asks me amusedly. I had no idea she was even reading the messages.
I shrug, biting my bottom lip, "It's fun,"
"Well, what are you gonna do when he asks you for it and you have nothing to send?"
"Don't worry," I wave her off, thinking of the numerous albums and old shots I am saved on my phone, "I'll deal with it then,"
Why were you taking nudes?
To send to my boyfriend
Oh :-)
Are you serious
What?
":-)"
Is there a problem
Yeah
You just turned me off
You were turned on?
Yeah but not anymore jfc
I saw the smile and was just like s w i t c h
Like a lightbulb
"Is this your way of sexting?" Bailey laughs, and in the distance I can see two shadows coming towards us.
I laugh lightly alongside her, finding it amusing how she has absolutely no idea what Luke and I have been up to.
Well, can I turn you on again?
No, I'm in school
That's hot
I'm calling the police
No baby I didn't mean it like that
I meant it like you could get caught and that's exciting
Not like school makes me hard or anything jesus christ
School doesn't make me hard I promise
You do
"Marry him," Bailey says automatically, slumping back against her side of the tree as both Ashley and Chloe join us. "Marry him, and never let him go,"
"What's going on?" Ashley asks, smiling as she hands me my water bottle.
"Just Lophie," Bailey says, sighing dramatically, "The feels are too much,"
"Oh, shut up," I roll my eyes.
Idk about you but school actually does turn me on
Like English Literature ? English c l i t erature
OH MY GOD I AM A GENIUS
I am honestly going to cry I'm literally going to start calling it that
Hold me I'm unstable
My girlfriend is an idiot
...
Wait what now
I just screamed
Like really loud
???
G i r l f r i e n d
Why do you do this to me
I hate you
What did I do?
You can't expect to call a fangirl your girlfriend and not have her freak out
Right now I can't breathe
Please breathe :-(
"Fucksake," I hear someone mutter, and since it's coming from my left, I know it's Ashley.
"What?" Chloe asks.
"The leech." the girl mutters back, and my head snaps up almost immediately; eyes landing on the view of none other than Beth Morane making her way towards us.
"Hi, you guys!" she grins.
I genuinely breathe
Please baby
No you're choking me too hard
Wtf
Where did that even come from
I don't know I'm sorry
You're so naughty
I just screamed again
Because of me? ;-)
Take the nose away
Because of me? ;)
Take the entire face away
Because of me?
Yes
Good
Want to see what you've done to me?
"Who are you texting?" Beth's chirpy voice sounds over my shoulder as I practically jump out of my skin, almost dropping my phone in the process.
"N-No-one," I mutter, picking it back up. She just hovers for a bit, before shrugging and resuming her very one-sided conversation with Ashley.
No, you can't send me anything
Why not?
Luke I'm in school with people I don't like ok you can't send me anything
Pls
Ok fine
I'll just find some other girl to love me its ok pfft
You do that
What the fuck no
Soph I didn't mean it wtf
Come back what
By other girl I meant Petunia I swear
Petunia, his dog. And very cute dog, at that.
Seriously I wouldn't have sent you a dick pic or anything anyway if you didn't ask for it I'm not like that
:-(
I can't help but laugh silently at my phone, watching as his frantic messages come through one by one.
Petunia is the better Hemmings
I take it back I'm in Petunia's lane
First of all, rude
Second of all, she loves me more than you
Oh yeah? Prove it
I will
"Looks like you're having a very heated conversation, there," Beth teases, nudging me lightly.
I refrain from ignoring her; everyone else has fallen silent, watching the sudden exchange like it's a movie.
"I'm just talking to someone. It's no big deal," I say nonchalantly, trying to play it off. But Beth is relentless.
"Then who is it?"
Are you ready for this
Like I'm gonna put it on my Instagram but this just proves that Petunia loves me more than you
Hold on
*1 Image Attachment*
Told you
Luke, she's sleeping
Sleeping because she got tired of loving me too much
This time, I really do laugh out loud, staring at the picture of him and Petunia with the biggest smile on my face. Luke has got to be one of the cutest, goofiest people I know.
I open up the keyboard again, thinking of smart things to say that'll spin the conversation in my favour. Of course, I have to compliment the dog; that's a priority. Hands down.
My fingers make the move to type when, out of nowhere, my phone is ripped out of my hand- and a loud shriek is what emits throughout the entirety of the school field.
"Is that-" Beth Morane yells, using her forefinger and thumb to zoom into the image. My eyes widen, my mouth falling agape, "Is that Luke Hemmings?!"

The Complete Alchemyst book 1
You've heard of superheroes, seen them flying across the sky, destroying great swaths of cities and ending countless innocent lives in order to defeat great evils and world-spanning threats and sell lots of sponsorships and merchandising opportunities. This is a story about the guy that is not those heroes. A supervillain in a world where making the right friends and political contacts is what separates the good guys from the bad. The Alchemyst is a story about a normal guy in a crazy world that spends his time trying to follow his dreams and conscience, working on new potions, thinking about girls, and lifting heavy shit, while trying to stay under the radar of the superheroes, supervillains, and governments that want what he can do. And occasionally turning them into makeshift melee weapons. If you enjoy The Boys, the Aberrant roleplaying game, Mystery Men, Trashy romances, Arnold Schwarzenegger movies, or SAW you may enjoy this book. Please note that this book has extremely graphic and sometimes gross fight scenes, heroes as villains, villains as heroes, opinionated and often politically incorrect characters, some graphic sex scenes, dad jokes, dirty jokes, realistic depictions of romance and flirting, bondage and dominance themes, and more than a few cuss words when they are really appropriate. This is NOT a superhero genre deconstruction. Many heroes truly are heroes, and they don't all need to be destroyed to make a good story, but it does look into the dark side of superpowers and the unreasonable and often contradictory demands placed on exceptional people.
8 205Artifex
In a world where art has power and power is everything, Thando Nkhosi is an MMA fighter trying to stand out and be somebody. At least, as much as one can among 23 billion other people. Life is generally good under the [High King]. That is, until he and his friends are catapulted into the upper echelons of the Inner Planet Federation by being granted a power that may be a bit too much for them to handle, and given a task that seems impossible. Trying my hand at a hopefully unique LitRPG system. No stats or number crunching though. Kinda scifi, kinda fantasy but scifi elements only really become plot relevant after the first arc. Won't be doom and gloom but will get really dark at times. Updates twice a week at minimum (2-3k words), sometimes more when school decides to let me out of the pillory lol. Inspired by a writing prompt on reddit and WarHammer 40k orks.

8 154The Pig and the Frog
~completed~What do you want to be Beatrice? I mean when you grow up." Tobias says, while we share our last moments together. We lay on the grass. Two six year olds. Laying in our spot looking at the sky. I look over to him, into his sky blue eyes and smile. "You know what. I want to be a frog. I never have to leave you. And I can jump so high I can touch the sky. And I'll be free. Oh everything would be amazing!"He smiles at me and giggles. "I want to be a pig. Never have to leave you. AND I get to be as messy as I want!" We both burst into laughter. I'm going to miss this. I hear my mother calling me and my eyes fill with tears. "I'm going to miss you Toby!" I wrap my small arms around him and look into his chubby little face. "I will miss you to, Trissy."
